Virtual PC/XP Mode is asking me my name & the password. I think it says XPMUser and wants to answer me with a password. I want to change the name and create a password. I have never created a.

I have not created anything yet he keeps asking for a password and display name is XPMUser, I believe.  How I can change this option to create a password also.  My file is listed as XPMUser under.   c:/Documents and Settings/XPMUser I have this file.  Who has my name there instead and if so how to change the name and create a password?

Thank you

When you install Windows XP Mode, it automatically creates a user named XPMUser account.  If you want to use a different name:

1. log in as that of XPMUser.
2. create a new computer administrator account with the name that you want.
3. close XPMUser.
4 log in to the new account and create a password.

You can then remove the XPMUser account if you wish.

  • My computer lag / freezes for a few seconds then starts to work again and get pop ups, I have never before.

    For example, while I am typing my computer freezes for a few seconds and I can't type or will not move the mouse. This lasts a few seconds but then starts to work again ok. This happens on every 10 minutes or so... enough to get on my nerves, especially at the time of the school. How can I fix? I also get a pop-up whenever I go to a new page. How can I stop this as well? I'd be so grateful for any help on this matter.

    cause.

    No one program cannot be used to detect and remove any malware. Added that often easy
    to detect malicious software often comes with a much harder to detect and remove the payload. Then
    its best to be thorough than paying the high price later now too. Check with them to one

  • Satellite Pro A100 request BIOS password which was never put

    Hiya

    Have had my Satellite Pro A100 for almost 2 years and that all this time have never even heard of a password system, but all of a sudden, I turned on the laptop this morning and it does not load. I tried pressing F12 (can't remember why, it seemed the thing to do to read the instructions at the bottom of the screen), but nothing happened so I just turned off the power. Put on again, he asked the system password. (A black screen with a blue box, with the old text base BACK type fonts).

    I have no idea what it could be, I tried the word system and tried just pressing on enter without text in there but it says incorrect password. I removed the battery and left 10 hours but put it back in the machine there is no difference, it will not always go through this screen.

    I am the only user on this machine, have no idea what caused it. I am aware of security, have installed on complete McAfee AV and did not have anything odd happen at all. Didn't last changes made to the configuration, no new software etc. so I have no idea what prompted it.

    Can anyone help please?

    Thanks in advance
    Rachel

    This password seems to be a BIOS password, but I have no idea why this password is displayed if you have never defined it.
    Unfortunately, there is not a lot to see the BIOS password can be removed without the help of an ASP.

    Then, contact the service provider allowed in your country and request removal of the password.

    I also recommend updating the BIOS after the technician removed the password.

    Do you know how to find the ASP closest?

  • XP drivers for Virtual PC - beta mode XP de Windows 7 RC necessary?

    Is it necessary to install drivers XP for Virtual PC - beta mode XP de Windows 7 RC? Or is it enough to install the drivers for Windows 7 RC only? Also, can I connect to the internet using the XP mode beta as I can simultaneously access Internet beta mode Windows 7 RC and XP?

    Basically, it will work like that.

    When you download Virtual PC (XP mode), you will need to install the current Windows XP in Virtual PC as if it were another computer. As if you were running the program under Windows 7, XP mode will give you 'seemless' support. (in reality, Virtual PC will run it), but don't look or act like him. So, as you install Windows XP, you need to install the Windows XP drivers in Windows XP.

    I hope that answers your question.

    I have Adobe Acrobat Reader DC on my computer.  I have NEVER had trouble opening a document from this location before.  All of a sudden, I wonder a PASSWORD.  I went and created a password, but it does NOT work when I try to open certain documents only three 3 in Player-all OTHER documents are open without asking for a password.   I tried to reset the password and tried again to open these particular documents.  They are still not open!

    Then I "chatted" with ADOBE and they me logged onto the Forum and told me to look for an answer I was ANable to automatically find...

    What is everyone out there knows what I need to do to obtain a PASSWORD THAT WILL WORK when I try to open these 3 documents?

    ALSO, what is the URL of the FORUM ADOBE?

    Thank you VERY MUCH to anyone who can help me.  I have urgently NEED to see these documents today, 18/05/15.  Thanks again!

    This isn't true at all. In fact, the specific problem of this user has been resolved when they discovered that someone has added a password security policy to their files. See: How to get and use a password that works to open several documents in Adobe Acrobat Reader DC?

    If you add the password to your files yourself and then forgotten, then there is nothing that can be done using Adobe software, however.

    This can be done with Adobe Reader but is not able to apply (or remove) a security strategy for PDF files.

    Hi Lourdes,

    Thanks for posting your query to the Microsoft community. Sorry for the delay in responding. What version of the Windows operating system is installed? It's Windows Vista, Windows 7, 8, 8.1, or Windows 10? How many accounts user are there in the computer? What was any recent change in hardware or software on the computer?

  • My office has just done a repair XP after a hardware change and now all user accounts have disappeared and he asks the administrator password when connecting!

    We have a unique system of Windows XP that run the software of engineering for certain calculations. All other systems running Windows 7, but what a XP system because it's the only thing that our calculations software runs on.

    CPU of the XP computer died on us and we had to replace the card mother and CPU. After the change of equipment, following Microsoft's OWN guide on the running an XP repair, we ran the system repair and got all the way to the login screen (no blue screen not as before repair). However, none of the accounts are there and he asks an administrators password. The system has NEVER had a password to our knowledge, it was built in the House, and all simply by clicking on the Administrative login asks for a password.

    What can we do? We needed this fix before today and wait for the repair of the system to do. Is it possible to enter the system to run the software? We tried the SafeMode (all forms) and they all will ask a password after Windows loading.

    It's so frustrating.

    (PS I have been building computers for nearly 15 years and have never had this happen)

    Thanks for the quick response. I looked into the system with a "start-up" program All original profiles seem to still be there. I don't know how to make them appear well. Can you direct me or tell me, how to make profiles see the place?

    The biggest problem, outdoors is not be able to sign more, is that the engineering calculation software is locked to this PC. It can be installed anywhere else without having to pay for a VERY new (I think that thousands of dollars) expensive key or a new version of the software.

    :(

    Yes, it's a problem.
    I believe you can use a UBCD4Win CD or Hiren Boot CD to locate and right click on the files you want to change. And then, if you properly in your repair facility, you change the attributes after you're done.
    Some guides are better than others. And here's one that I like:
    If necessary, hire a PC Tech. It's much cheaper than buying a license that is thousands of dollars!

I have (1) check my CD/DVD drive works (2), I watched the video on how to create a password reset disk (3) I did the procedure successfully in the past on other computers (4) I rebooted the computer after having difficulty finding the opportunity to insert a disk in drive D, the name of the drive for my DVD / CD player. What is the problem?

    The problem is that when I am asked to insert a disc in the player I'd give myself a choice is not drive D, the name of the drive to my CD/DVD drive.
    So over and over again once I wonder to insert the disc. I also have one of these drives you can put 4 holders memory size different from the type used in cameras and I have a DVD player, it is called D drive.  Why I'm not given the option to use drive D when I'm given a choice I can insert a disc so that the password recovery disk can be created?

    Change the assignment of drive letter for the dvd player to one letter other than.

    1. sign the computer as an administrator.

    2. Insert a disk in the removable drive.

    3. type computer management in the start search box and press ENTER.

    4. click on disk management.

    5 right-click the partition, logical drive or volume that you want to change and then clickchange drive letter and paths.
